It avoids the SJW tropes but still has a few "ugh" elements like the tranny in the orphanage, and the black orphan being straight up racist.

There's a tranny in the orphanage? This episode 1 or later?

Finished it tonight and enjoyed it quite a lot.

It‘s cliché at times, but it’s really well done. Well written, well directed, well acted, interesting characters and subject matter. I love the period, and set designs were really nice.

She almost looks artificial. Its like she is a mannequin come to life. She is beautiful but it is a different kind of beauty that ebbs and flows as she moves.

Her eyes look like that creature from Ice Age! But she is absolutely beautiful most of the time!
If anyone is on the fence about this like I was because they don't want to watch a woke Netflix female empowerment drama, I'm two episodes in and there's zero SJW tropes in this.

It's pretty good.
Agree, it's just great!

The big bitch that sings/plays piano and teaches the religious stuff is a tranny. How the fuck did you not notice based on his voice alone?

Oh I did notice the voice actually, the character has so few lines that I forgot about it.

Nothing wrong with trans people being actors and playing weirdo orphanage staff and trans stuff not beint mentioned at all.

Alexy root is legitimate one of the best female chess players ever. I crushed her on simul at the womens texas university.

Total side note....

Walter Tevis is the author, and he wrote another novel that really shaped me early on. That book was called "The Hustler" (Movie later with Paul Newman)



Either book is worth the read, in my opinion.

Just finished this, it's great. Really enjoyed it.

It's a look back to how feminism used to be, just show women doing things and having personality/flaws, rather than a parade of cartoon sexists and woke allies praising the protagonist.

I also like how she Vegeta'd everyone she played, it felt like a shonen manga by the end lol.

Big eyes just make you think she is young and fertile, so basically you’re all pedos, but this is FoH. Nothing new.

Would also bang. Haven’t seen show.
